Gümüşler Monastery Museum: There is no period source for the medieval name and history of the town of Gümüşler, where the monastery is located. The monastery is carved out of a large rock church and is one of the best preserved and largest of its kind in the Cappadocia region. There are quite a few monasteries carved out of the rock in Cappadocia and some scientists divide these into 2 groups ; those with dining halls and those with open courtyards. The Gümüşler Monastery is part of the second group. The most important part of the monastery complex is the church to its north.  The church comprises of four free standing closed aisles based on a Greek cross plan; in the northern aisle of the cross there is a niche with two tombs.  To the west there are two entrances covered with a cradle vault. The function of many of the other spaces in the monastery is not known. It is assumed that at least 3 different masters worked on the paintings found on the walls of the church.  In the main apse there are three bands of painting; the highest shows Christ Enthroned, with two angels to his right, the symbols of the Gospel writers and the moment of Desis with Mary and the disciples. The lowest series shows fathers of the church, Basil the Great of Kayseri, Gregory of Nysa, Gregory of Nazians and the like.
